Faire de ce dernier, l'idiot utile de la Macronie. L'origine de la violence... Qui a commencé? La poule ou l'œuf? Qui a une doctrine pacifiste et qui une doctrine agressive? Qui manipule la foule, comme le taureau dans une arène, quel camp? Je prédis que ce sujet va animer les plateaux médiatiques. Vont-ils parvenir à se faire des bisous à la fin? #manifestations #lycéens

While the law enforcement setup has been criticized by several figures on the left, notably Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the Minister of the Interior has "disagreed" and emphasized that "without the internal security forces today, there would have been no procession, there would have been no parade." #Manifestations #Gouvernement #ViolencesUrbanes (translated)
